* ForegoneConclusion: As Weir notes at the top of the episode, they've known since "Rising" that the newly-awakened Wraith would be coming for Atlantis eventually. The only upside to the impending attack is at least now they know ''when''.
Added DiffLines:
* SignatureStyle: A minor plot point when Rodney proposes the "Send an SOS to the SGC" pitch. As as USAF contractor during ''SGC-1'', Rodney helped develop the Air Force's (and by extension the SGC's) modern encoding. So, Rodney's confident Samantha Carter will recognize the style and format and easily be able to decode the compressed data burst.

* DueToTheDead: Dr. Weir records personal messages to the families of all the Atlantis Expedition members who have died, with one exception. The message for [[Recap/StargateAtlantisS01E01E02Rising Col. Sumner's]] family is done by Major Sheppard.
-->'''Sheppard''': I'm not sure if Colonel Sumner's parents are still alive. I'm not sure he even has a family back there. Not all of us do. But if he does have family, they should know that he died with honor and courage in the performance of his duty. He carried the burden of a leader, and he carried it well. I didn't get the chance to know him well, but I know this... Considering the type of man he was and what we're up against... I wish he was still here.
